Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 SL9SD 2.33GHz/4M/667MHz Socket M

Stan_M · ‎03-12-2021

I have been wanting to buy a Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 SL9SD from China because it's less expensive. I noticed that Wiki lists it as P/N: LF80537GF0534M which does not correspond with China's part number. I want to be sure because Intel made this processor for two different sockets that are electrically incompatible. Socket 'M' & Socket 479. And then again, Wiki lists it with a FCBGA6 Socket which makes it even more confusing.

Can someone please explain this confusing mess?

P/N: LF805375650A585 P/N: LF805375646A313

The T7600 is available in two packages:

T7600 BGA Socket M

Spec Code SL9SJ
Ordering Code LE80537GF0534M

T7600 PGA Socket M

Spec Code SL9SD
Ordering Code BX80537T7600

and

Spec Code SL9SD
Ordering Code LF80537GF0534M

Just look under "ordering and compliance" at this link:

According to Wiki, the prefix LE is for Socket M and the LF is for Socket FCBGA6 (Whatever the hell that is?? Or should it be Socket P??)

So what you are telling me is not to trust China's P/N even though the description is the same? Should I trust the description? Or contact the Seller?

I'm trying to upgrade a Mac Mini for a friend. The T7600 processor seems to be very popular and the price range in the US is too much. Even the ones on eBay are coming from China. I really don't want to put out a lot of money.

Thanks,

Stan M.

I provided you the Intel specs and information. Any other source you will have to verify yourself.
